Student-Designed Mobile Phones to Boost Intimacy & Sensuality

College_cell_phones_2Scottish students from the College of Art, Science and Engineering's product design course have created six phones to support "intimacy and sensuality" adopted by the Phone/Not Phone company, which offers alternative mobile phones.

Co-founder Graham Pullin said, "Our founding principle is to offer our customers expressive new interactions rather than be driven by technological innovation for its own sake.

One model prototype, the Aware, sends a tingle down your back if a friend is nearby. Another prototype, the Boom Tube, allows people to make music together.

The goal of the new phones is to get away from the unsocial mobile phones and faciliate communicating and interacting on a new level.
